I don't think anyone's come across anyone using the new server, which is why the 3.0 and 4.0 versions still work with the DRM removal tools. But the potential is there with the newer versions, so people have been sticking with the 2.0.1 versions of Adobe Digital Editions. Took a bit of digging, but I found the old post where the potential DRM scheme was first mentioned:

One other issue. If you do get the new DRM, there's a chance depending on the Reader or app being used that the ePub will be unable to be read because the Reader and/or app doesn't understand the new DRM. So that is yet another reason to stick with ADE 2.0.1.
